A look through the keyhole at Bryn Fôn's home in Ar Werth
The pop star's residence will be featured on the S4C show
A four-bedroomed property on the outskirts of Penygroes that's home to a Welsh pop star and actor will be featured in the next edition of Ar Werth (For Sale ) on Wednesday, April 4 on S4C.
The house in Dyffryn Nantlle is on the market for just under half a million pounds and the sellers are singer and actor Bryn Fôn and his wife Anna who are ready for a new chapter in their lives.
"We bought the house in 1985," said Bryn Fôn, a Welsh rock and pop icon also known for playing goalie Tecs in S4C's classic comedy C'mon Midffild and more recently for playing Dr Elgan in Pobol y Cwm. "My Uncle Moi, who farmed over the road, married my father's youngest sister, and his mother lived here. So my memories of this place go back many years."
As they make the decision to move out of the family home of 35 years, some are finding it harder than others to let go.

"I think the children miss the place," said Bryn who was bought up in the area. "Our daughter Cadi is particularly sentimental that her room is still her room, although she lives in Cardiff, and imagining someone else living here is quite tough for her."
In addition to the house, the old adjacent barn house has been developed into an arts studio for Anna and an office where Bryn can write and do the paperwork for his record label.

Bryn Fôn said, "You don't consider that moving house is such a big upheaval until you come to do it. People walk around your place for twenty minutes and then make a decision about whether or not they could live there. It's an eye opener but we are really looking forward to the future and a new challenge."
Also this week, Iestyn Leyshon visits housing developer Emyr Davies who has transformed the old court in Aberystwyth into luxury apartments. Iwan and Catrin Williams have just bought a brand new house in Llandwrog - but it hasn't been built yet! And the Ar Werth cameras gain access to an expensive castle outside Ruthin, on the market for £2.75m. It has apparently caught the eye of singers Kylie Minogue and Avril Lavigne and football manager Jose Mourinho.

Blŵs gwerthu tŷ ym mhlwyf Llanllyfni
Tŷ pedair 'stafell wely ar gyrion Penygroes sy'n gartref i un o wynebau mwya' adnabyddus Cymru yw un o'r tai sy'n ymddangos ym mhennod nesaf Ar Werth, nos Fercher, Ebrill 4, ar S4C.
Mae'r tŷ yn Nyffryn Nantlle ar y farchnad am bron i hanner miliwn o bunnoedd a'r rhai sy'n gwerthu yw'r canwr ac actor Bryn Fôn a'i wraig Anna sy'n barod am bennod newydd.
"Mi brynon ni'r tŷ yn '85," meddai Bryn, sy'n enwog fel canwr gyda'r grwpiau Crysbas a Sobin a'r Smaeliaid, am ei rôl fel Tecs, gôl-geidwad tîm Bryncoch United, yn C'Mon Midffild ac yn fwy diweddar am chwarae Dr Elgan yn Pobol y Cwm.
"Roedd Yncl Moi, sy'n ffermio dros y lôn, wedi priodi chwaer fenga fy nhad, a'i fam o oedd yn byw 'ma. Felly mae 'nghof i am y lle yn mynd yn ôl flynyddoedd maith."
Ond wrth wneud y penderfyniad i symud o'r tŷ a fu'n gartref i'r teulu ers bron i 35 o flynyddoedd, mae rhai'n ei gweld hi'n anos nag eraill i ollwng fynd ar y lle.

"Dwi'n meddwl bod y plant yn colli'r lle," meddai Bryn sydd wedi byw yn yr ardal erioed. "Dwi'n meddwl bod ein merch ni Cadi'n arbennig yn eitha' sentimental mai ei 'stafell hi yw ei 'stafell hi o hyd, er ei bod hi'n byw yng Nghaerdydd, ac mae meddwl am gael rhywun arall yma yn eitha' anodd iddi."
Yn ogystal â'r tŷ, mae'r hen feudy gerllaw hefyd wedi cael ei ddatblygu'n stiwdio celf i Anna ac yn swyddfa i Bryn allu 'sgwennu a gwneud gwaith papur ar gyfer ei label recordiau.
Meddai Bryn Fôn, "Dydy rhywun ddim yn ystyried bod symud tŷ yn un o'r pethau mwya' ti'n gallu ei wneud. Pan ti'n ystyried bod pobl yn cerdded o gwmpas dy le di am ryw ugain munud ac yn gwneud y penderfyniad bo nhw am symud i fa'ma, mae o'n agoriad llygad ac yn sicr 'da ni'n edrych ymlaen at ddyfodol a her newydd."
Hefyd yn y rhaglen hon, mae Iestyn Leyshon yn ymweld â'r datblygwr tai Emyr Davies o Aberystwyth sydd wedi trawsnewid yr hen lys yn y dref yn fflatiau moethus. Mae Iwan a Catrin Williams wedi prynu tŷ newydd sbon danlli yn Llandwrog sydd heb gael ei adeiladu eto! Bydd camerâu Ar Werth hefyd yn cael mynediad i gastell drudfawr y tu allan i dref Rhuthun sydd ar y farchnad am £2.75 miliwn ac yn destun diddordeb i'r cantorion Kylie Minogue ac Avril Lavigne ac i'r rheolwr pêl-droed Jose Mourinho, yn ôl pob sôn.
